Representation av könsidentitet och sexuell läggning i Svensk ordbok}, abstract = {The purpose of the paper is to present and discuss the treatment of controversial words in the development of a new edition of the Swedish monolingual dictionary Svensk ordbok utgiven av Svenska Akademien (SO), which is expected to be published in 2021. The focus of the article is on the semantic fields of sexual orientation and gender identity, and the challenges met in the process of developing a non-discriminatory and descriptively adequate resource. A more inclusive and updated lemma list is put forward, as well as revisions of definitions and linguistic examples. The article discusses usage labels of negatively charged words and explores the role of links to promote non-discriminatory word choices. Furthermore, methodological questions are raised, and the role of corpora and other sources of data is discussed.}, journal = {LexicoNordica 27}, author = {Petersson, Stellan and Sköldberg, Emma}, year = {2020}, number = {27}, pages = {97--115}, }
